Fascinating, first the concept of deep fried steak and then chicken steak? ... American food never ceases to surprise me (a pescetarian from New Zealand). So different :)
no, chicken fried steak is beef cube steak breaded and fried. it's "chicken fried" meaning fried in the same manner as chicken. That said, like fried chicken it doesn't have to be made in a deep fryer it can be made with a good solid layer of very hot oil in a pan.
